Hi Andreas,

not sure if this helps much…

this is the area shown on your map 👇

 

On your map the lines are sea

The chequered and the smooth areas are land, the two used to highlight the difference between nations/states(?) just as the same borders are highlighted in the map above using different colours.

 

 

If you want to date his match case, it’s possible you might find some of the place names used are outdated and that could narrow it down… just possibly 👍

The Island of Jersey is a self governing British Crown Dependency. It is not technically a part of the United Kingdom, but is part of the British Isles. The King is represented on the island by a Lieutenant Governor.

 

The States of Jersey Police has its origins dating back to 1853, when a small group of uniformed men were appointed to police the Parish and town of St. Helier. They were known as the "St. Helier Paid Police".  The policing of the remainder of the island was the responsibility of the Honorary Parish Police in each of the remaining eleven parishes.

 

The uniformed police remained under the control of the Parish of St. Helier until 1952. At that time they were transferred to the control of the Island's Government, the States of Jersey. The strength at that time was 64 men and the title of the force was changed to "States of Jersey Police". That said, their activities were still centred upon St. Helier although they did venture out of the town when requested by the outer Parishes'. They later performed regular mobile patrols throughout the island, but had to inform the relevant Parish Constable of any incidents that they came upon or were called to attend. 

 

They now provide a policing service to the whole island. However, the relevant Parish Honorary Police still have primacy in respect of the decision to charge offenders. The Parish Centenier is the only person (other than the Attorney General) who has the power to charge an offence and it is he/she who presents the case at the Magistrates' Court. 

 

The current strength of the States of Jersey Police is 214 officers plus 121 civilian staff.

 

Below is a representation of the badges worn since their formation.

My gut tells me it’s an Austrian faker bar, a photo of reverse will tell.

Yes the reverse might give some light

It is a nice box It could be done in a later period

Nice grouping

This should indeed be attributed to two badges, not Imperial Russian.

I am attaching here a relevant link from a Bulgarian website：https://www.morskivestnik.com/mor_kolekcii/mor_heraldika/mkrasteva.html
